ANTIQUES, DECORATIVE OBJECTS & INDUSTRIAL FURNITURE

This original English pine settle dates to the early 19th century, circa 1830s // Found and reclaimed in East Sussex, the settle shares with the chest and the chair the distinction of great antiquity // Its high barrel-back shape served as a protection from the draughts of buildings, protection which was sometimes increased by the addition of winged ends // Most frequently placed near the fire in the common sitting-rooms, this piece has spent the past 100 plus years in an English country tavern // Of solid construction and with the most beautiful age & patina to the timbers // A superb example of English history // View HERE
